Shipmate's Stainless Steel Blade simply does not flex under normal use. It is the perfect hole starter and multi-purpose tool. Its special handle design fits almost everyone's hand size and is shaped to prevent accidental roll-off from benches. The handle is extruded from unbreakable plastic, for a lifetime of trouble-free service. Blade is tapered stainless steel and is 4 inches in length. Great gift idea that can last a lifetime.
